What other info do you want? Anything the seller can help with?

I can't find anything on the PRS website for a 2007 SC semi-hollow with no f-holes, so this might be a limited run by a UK distributor (I've seen a few of those). or maybe I'm just brain-dead and having a bad google-fu day.

Maybe ask for close-ups of the papers? They usually have lots of good details.

I think it was a limited run for the US - but sometimes stragglers from those runs find their way to the UK.

90 pieces made total for three dealers (in 6 colours, 5 per dealer) - that one appears to be 'amber' - it looks like it might be a 1-piece top too which is nice if it is, the pics aren't perfect so hard to absolutely tell - 25" scale, Braz fretboard, abalone inlays, hybrid hardware, 10 top, W/F neck, number 7 pickups.

I found this description online:

http://www.chorder.com/electric-guitars/paul-reed-smith/single-cut-semihollow-1280/

Single-Cut Semi-Hollow is one of several models in the Hollowbody series. It looks very similar to the solid body SC models, but it is semi hollow on the inside. There are no holes on the top, or back, but this one is significantly lighter than it`s solid-bodied counterparts. Back and sides of this unique single-cut is made of cedar wood, while the top is made of highly popular quilted maple. Gloss finish, nickel-plated hardware and creme binding complete the body top. Wrap around bridge is alone in the bridge section and it`s fronted by a pair of active humbuckers with nickel-plated covers. Neck is set in and made of mahogany. It features wide fat contour in the back and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard on top.

Kinda sounds like the model in question, except this one seems to have gold hardware. The "active humbuckers" description in the quote above is also misleading, I suspect - wouldn't these be normal (passive) pups?
